Coding Agent
A coding agent reads a repository, plans a change, edits files, runs tests and iterates until the task passes — instead of just suggesting snippets.
Dictionary↳ linked
AI Software Engineering
AI software engineering is the practice of building software where agents write most of the code and humans own architecture, review and verification.
